LIMIT ON BUTTER
BELIEVED LIKELY
SEATTLE, Dec. 10 (T) Sec
retary Ray Miller of the Wash

ment would be forced to limit
butter consumption to (lightly
more than one pound a month
per person half the normal
amount.
He mi Id voluntary rationing
which is the virtual equivalent
of tuch a program alreudy has
been Instituted by butter dl
tributon of Washington and moat
other part of the nation.
"Distributor aro limiting their
retail outlet to SO per cunt o(
normal," ho explained. "The re
tailer, in turn, generally aro re
itrlcllng purchaser to not more
than one pound at a time. Somo
of lh big chain stores will not
sell more than one-fourth of a
pound at a time."
Miller declared government
agencies have been slow to rec
ognize Impending shortages,
adding:,
"It's too laic to ration a pro
duct when there's none left to
ration. The office of price ad
ministration, as usual, muffed
the ball on butter."
FARM LABOR, DRAFT

It was decided to have a meet

this note from Clara Quetschow
of South Bclolt, 111., 18 miles

Jury duty.
"I do not drive a car. I live

CATTLE MARKETS
Cattle prices at North Port
land Monday were 23 to SO cents
higher, with around five loads
of good (ed steers bringing $14
to $14.50 and grass steers most
ly $12 to $13.25. Out of 1150
head arriving, 1000 were offered
locally. Buying was slow at
Chicago except on lome choice
fed tuff, and the early top was
on weighty steers at $16.30. San
Francisco reported steers scarce
with $13.25 quoted on medium
to good animals.
Owing probably to uncertain
ly as to gas rationing and to un
founded rumors that some live
stock was not finding an outlet,
cattle receipt at North Portland
last week were only a third as
large as at the same time last
year, and sheep receipts were
half those of the year before.
Hog receipt, however, were but
little below those of a year ago.
In the midwest cattle markets
turned weaker in late November
after nearly six weeks of
strength, owing to increased
numbers at principal markets,
and despite scarcity of longfcd
steers there was a sharp falling
off in buyer demand (or these.
In view of the lower trend, de
mand for stockcr and feeder
claases was also slower.
8HEEP at CATTLE MARKETS
Lamb prices advanced another
25 cents at North Portland Mon
day. With only 800 available
for local sale, good to choice
wooled lambs sold at $13.23 to
$13.75, and good feeder lambs
at $10 to $10.50. Good ewes
brought $4. San Francisco re
ported no sal- but quoted
$13.50 to $14.25 on good to
choice lamb. At Chicago sev
eral loads of led western and
native lambs sold at $15.25 to
$15.50 but strictly good and
choice kinds were held for more,
while at Omaha most good and
choice fed wooled lambs held
above $15.15, with feeding lambs
strong to 13 cent higher than
last week.
Movement of fed lambs to mid
west markets has just started,
with the supply of range- lambs
for slaughter nearly depleted.
HOG MARKETS
Demand for the 2000 head of
hogs offered at North Portland
Monday was active, with prices
,10 to 15 cents higher. Good to
choice top hogs were mostly
$13.75, with a few lots of drive
ins up to $13.85. Weights from
230 to 300 pounds sold at $13
to $13.25. At San Francisco a
load of 190-pound choice Oregon
butchers topped the market at
$14.40, while at Chicago prices
were mostly 10 to 15 cents above
